Definitely the mk7 R next year.
Today, as fate would have it, a pure white R pulled up next to me at a local animal park. The owner kindly let me have a look around and inside it. Great to finally see one in the flesh. Up close, the front looks very aggressive, there's much more equality between the aggressive looking rear and the front than is evident in pictures, photos don't do it justice at all imo. It definitely doesn't look like a normal golf, as some have said. Liked the brushed chrome mirrors and front lip.
Interior lovely too. This car had the two-tone carbon/beige nappa option, which was nicer than anticipated but think I'd still opt for the all black leather.
Still need to test drive one, but absolutely loved the look of it
